At present, there is no unified definition and interpretation of the concept of public art in the academic world, and opinions vary on its interpretation. As an open term, it is inevitably associated with social, cultural and political circumstances. Scholars in different countries have different understandings of public art due to differences in cultural background, social history, political education and other factors. The reason is mainly due to the pluralistic understanding of the "publicity" of public art. By analogy with the previous achievements of many scholars in the field of public art, this paper analyzes the diversified development and various publicity presented by public art in the course of its historical evolution on the basis of combing and induction, which will help us to further clarify the connotation of public art and deepen the development and construction of its content and disciplines.
